Today my intake was 473 calories, breakfast was black coffee, lunch was late, almost at 2pm, I was on the go all day. It consisted of 100g (raw weight) of grilled chicken breast, cucumber and an apple.
Dinner was 100g (again, raw weight) of 96/4 extra lean ground beef, grilled, with a tomato and some strawberries, and a cup of coffee.
I had 9 8oz glasses of water today. I'll be aiming for 10 throughout the protocol, it seems to be my sweet spot with water.
I was not hungry all day, good energy, mild headache, which was either detox, or leftover cold symptoms, I'm still taking antihistamines and Dayquil for my cold, but am starting to feel much better so hopefully am almost over it.
Had a couple of impulses to grab stuff while out, but I realized that it was just habit from my out of control eating habits from before, not because I actually wanted anything. One of the things I'll be re-learning is to occupy myself during times of boredom or stress with something other than food. I've gotten a bunch of books from the library, and walking my dogs will help also. It will give me mild exercise and fresh air, which will be good for me. On the protocol, strenuous exercise is not recommended, but walking is fine. This is due to inaccurate scale readings due to muscle inflammation, which can be very discouraging during the process, and also due to the low caloric intake.
All told, a great day, a perfect day 1. I cannot wait to see what the scale says tomorrow morning! Stay tuned!!!
